I'm Brian, the owner and director
and I've been a double reed player all my life.
I find beauty and comfort in both music and literature. I treasure the eponymously named play by Shakespeare and have loved Mark Helprin's magnificent novel since I read it a few decades ago.
They serve to remind me that as musicians, we tell stories about the world around us. Winter here in New England is frigidly lush and intense with small lulls of quiet and warmth.
I feel the intensity and warmth of the Vaughan-Williams Oboe Concerto (oboist Evelyn Rothwell) and the Saint-saëns Bassoon Sonata Op. 168 (bassoonist Sophie Dartigalongue) on my winter walks.
All the technique and practice that leads up to musical storytelling is where Charles Double Reed Company comes in. We're here to support you throughout the year with ideas, supplies and services that come with our amazing Guarantee and 35 years of oboe and bassoon expertise.
